The Blob (and other creepy sounds) features the complete original Ralph Carmichael soundtrack from the 1958 cult monster movie starring Steve McQueen. The CD features every cue from the movie as well as music not heard in the picture, totalling about 37 minutes -- all in original, gorgeous monophonic sound. Of particular note is the unused “Main Title,” which was replaced by the Burt Bacharach/Mack David novelty song. The original orchestral cue is an outstanding piece that perfectly prepares you for the unfolding horror of the movie – as opposed to the humorous approach the song took. Both opening cues are included in this release.

The remainder of the CD is packed with almost 40 minutes of horror, suspense, and atmospheric cues from the Valentino Production Music Library, including pieces used in The Green Slime, The Brain That Wouldn’t Die, Terror From the Year 5000, as well as in the collectible album “Attilio Mineo Conducts Man in Space with Sounds.” Film composers represented include such distinguished figures as Angelo Francesco Lavagnino, Roger Roger, and Mario Nascimbene.
